Why We Love It

The closest hotel to the magic—Grand Californian sits inside Disney California Adventure® Park with a private entrance for resort guests. Stunning Craftsman lodge design, Tenaya Stone Spa, and dining like Napa Rose and Storytellers Cafe (character breakfast) make it the ultimate “we’re at Disney” stay.
